We found this on youtube. This is pretty interesting stuff! From time to time, I’ve also done a bit of comparison smashing (with elderly helmets destined for the dump), and it’s pretty amazing. Also fun. :-) Maybe I should have recorded it.

Thanks Billy-Jay, for donating your old ‘cycle! We’ll treat it well! Dear Motorbike Peeps! East Side Re-Rides is moving to 16th Ave at Main St for the New Year. We’re super excited that the new space has a nice big bright display window, and we are hopeful that someone has …

Good motorcycle gear is flooding into the store, and zooming out just as fast. If you’ve got something in your closet, take advantage of the spring rush, and bring it to me, so I can convert it into a cheque for you. Ahhhh! Hurry! They’re lining up!

There must be some kind of retail magic around this tore, because 99.936% of the folks who walk through my door are sweet and friendly folks. Today the store is filled with the sound of heavy metal music and people giggling as they work out where the damn zipper on the chaps goes. Are these inside out? Upside down? What the hey?

Hullo, gear-toting universe. There is a remarkable rush on large helmets and small leather jackets, so if you have any of these items stored and little-used in your closet, now is a good time to haul ’em out and bring them to me so the hungry masses can $nap ’em …

The city waterworks crew is carving a hole in the sidewalk 3 feet from ReRide’s front door (no, don’t worry, you can still get in to buy things!) and I get a ringside seat on the concrete-carving wheel thing and the backhoe-looking thing.Â I’ve turned the music up to cover …

I have a thing about boots, and I seem to be going kinda boot-heavy on the Find of the Day category. So I’m going to split it up into Boot of the Day and Find of the Day (which won’t then be entirely about boots, and we’ll see whether that …

It’s almost Halloween, which is the most common time for ordinary folks to dress like superheros and run around in spandex. I’ve got a wee separate “Scratch n’ Dent” helmet section that I keep mostly for this time of year. I’ve got a bunch of sizes in varied styles (beanie, …

Yes, that particular beautiful helmet you’d been looking at sold three weeks ago. Yes, I know you gambled that it wouldn’t sell yet, and the price would therefore be lower today, but in the meantime someone else came in and gave me money. Ruthlessly, I let them have the helmet. No, waving and huffing at the place on the shelf where it used to be won’t help. Don’t go away mad, now….

Some nice folks came in and bought some gear today. They said they’d found a single business card lying in a lonely parking lot in Chilliwack a while back, and that’s how they’d found out about the store. I’d never thought about that method of advertising, honestly.Â Now I wonder.

Hullo, claustrophobic lady who was looking for a hybrid (full face where all the chin stuff and visor can be shoved up temporarily so you can kiss your honey or talk to a cop or eat ice cream), I now have one in silver, size medium.

Thanks to good friend and part-time store-minder River Tucker for giving me a hand yesterday to re-organize the store to fit in the new rack for the new stuff coming in!Â Drop in and tell me what you think.

How do I buy this nifty thing I see?

Mostly you just gotta come in and shop in person. Once in a while we can arrange to take your CC info by phone, and ship a very particular item.

If you'd like to chat about that, or if you're wondering if we still have that particular item that caught your eye, do ring us up during business hours and ask! 604-327-7433

See you soon!

Is this an online shop? Not quite.

This website ain’t a webstore. That’s because every (one-of-a-kind) consignment item is “live” in our actual brick-and-mortar store, being shopped through by in-person customers, and we’d have a lot of disappointed online shoppers as they tried to buy the thing that just left.

In the future, we may add some shopping-cart-ability! In the meanwhile, please have a peek at our inventory and give us a call about things you like!
